Every Day Holds ~ Butterfly

Hello bloggers another week has now flown by. I really don't know why it seems to go so quickly. Today I have a lovely sunny card for you.

This card began as an A4 sheet of yellow card stock that I cut and scored to make a 5.5 square card blank. Next I cut a mat for the card using some gold holographic mirror board. I then made a smaller mat using a yellow pattered paper from my stash.

I used the off cut from making the card blank and a butterfly punch to make the butterfly strip across the card. Once punched I cut a design around the edge using Spellbinders edgeabilities die set. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer PVA 'olympic gold to the butterfly bodies and inked on the antenna using a black pen.

The sentiment was stamped on to the card using black soot distress ink and Indigo blu 'poppy meadow' stamp set. Finally I adhere the layers to the card and added the butterfly strip across the card and snipped of the ends that protruded beyond the card size.
